Probably not worth it. The heat might break down some of the glues used. Mambas are pretty nice light spikes so might not be worth the risk. Better to wash by had.
That said, I did wash a pair of brooks mach xc spikes last fall and were fine. So you could give it a try but make sure you use cold water and a gentle cycle of you do.
If possible I'd wash by hand with detergent or specified shoe cleaner if you have it, but if it has to be in the washer use the handwash/most gentle cycle and cold water.
thank you. should i dry in drier or let it air dry
they're steeple spikes. they'll dry quickly enough without the drier.

Yep definitely air dry
Maybe put them in a pillow case before they go in the machine.

backwards. Only reason to clean shoes is to kill the smells, for that they should be dry asap

it sounds like you're either really lazy, or you want to destroy your spikes
I would suggest just hand washing all running shoes including track spikes. Dry them off the best you can with a towel and then let them air dry.
I used to sprinkle laundry detergent on them, put them out in a hard rain, and once sunny lay thme in the sun to air dry. They were clean, smelled good, and fit nice and snug.

no I go sockless with my spikes and we’ll...you can guess the smell. i just wanted to wash them. i washed them on delicate with cold water and they turned out fine. i washed them with a bunch of towels too so they weren’t by themselves
I also go sockless. Mine turned as fine as I washed on cold too.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
